Becoming a CAG Devon Connector Member

What is CAG Devon?

The Community Action Groups (CAG) Devon network consists of grassroots community groups across Devon organising events and projects to take action on waste and sustainability, including repair cafes, food surplus, reducing single-use plastic, composting, tree planting and much more.

Established in 2016, and funded by Devon County Council, Devon Climate Emergency and Public Health, CAG Devon is a growing network of community sustainability groups. The model for CAG Devon is based on the now fully independent, CAG Oxfordshire, the largest local network of community sustainability groups in the UK, with over 100 affiliated groups.
